The company is focused on merging the best of analog and digital technology. By greatly reducing the burden on the computer's CPU, the host application can now deliver more tracks, automation and native effects.įounded in 1999 and based in Santa Cruz, California, Universal Audio is best known for its vintage analog reproductions and advanced Digital Signal Processing technology. Unlike other DSP cards, the UAD uses a single, unpartitioned vector processor, allowing for larger and more sophisticated plug-in algorithms offering a new level of power and complexity not found with host-based plug-ins. Because of its high resolution, floating-point processing, ultra high-speed memory and hardware dithering, the UAD delivers outstanding high-headroom sound quality at sample rates from 32 to 192khz. "Īt the heart of every UAD DSP Card & Powered Plug-Ins package is the revolutionary UAD DSP card. By using the ExpressCard port for high-performance DSP, we offload the lower-bandwidth FireWire ports so they can be used for critical audio IO and hard disc traffic.

" The ExpressCard 34 module allows us to deploy our existing mature and very stable cross-platform drivers to the widest range of Mac/PC laptop customers, and with over 6x the bandwidth of FireWire S400, it offers headroom for future UAD developments.
It naturally supercedes Cardbus just as PCI Express has evolved as a significant enhancement from PCI." said Joe Bryan, VP of Technology at UA.
